To what cold and starry hight Would it now take its flight? Ah no! Ilowe'r so bright and fair, The smile of God rest there, Those transient joys to share, I would not go. Freed from this body poor, 'Twould on and upward soar, Knocking at Heaven's door, Leaving below The barque to mortals given, All tempest tost and riven. Seeking for rest in heaven. There would I go.

Carroll, Ohio, March, 18G0. THE MOUNTAIN LILY- BY ETTIE ELTON. "PIT a little more coal in the grate, Susie, it is so very cold to-night," said old Mrs. Lacy, at the same time laying down her knitting, and drawing a Utile closer to the tire. "Well it is obout time for cold weather. See to-day is the l"th the 17th of December, Twenty-nine years ago, this very night, 1 fahall never lor-get.""What about it, grandma?" said Susie, her eyes brightening at the prosect ol a story. "Almost enough for a book, or a story at anv rate I ineau.a written story. Pickup my ball, dear," and the old lady heaved a sijfh, and removed her spectacles, wiped them with the corner of her silk apron preparatory to the resumption of her knitting and the narration . "Some how or other, my miud has been running upon that child all day. It seems to mc you look a little as she did at your age, with eye so large and blue. .May Heaven protect my Susie from her fate! But, as I t-aid,twenty-nine years ago this very night, she lirst opened her eyes in the home ofMster Judy. Jt seems to me Judy had a kind of foreknowledge that all was not right when for the hrst time she clasped that babe to her breast and prayed : " O God, proteet mydanghter!" "It was dark midnight, and their mountain home was shrouded iu a sheet of snow. The winds whistled through the tall pine, and dallied the sleet against the windows. A wild cry oi agony pierced the air, sendiug a thrill of horror through the hearts of all within the house. Old Mrs. Benson, opened the door and UVtencd. It was a woman's voice,' she said, 'somebody lost in the storm.' "Before your uncle had time to go to her aid, she had made her appearance at the door an old woman, all shrivelled viitli age her hair white as the f-nowy roTic ot nature, her large black eyes glaring with the wihlnc- of intensity, and her person covered with tatters. A rude bonnet hanging behind her head, ami partof a woolen shawl, were her chief protection from the storm. " 'Old crazy Luce,' said Dr. franc; 'she must leave this room at once, Mr. Lee.' "But your uncle did not bid her go just then, and she sat down by the tin-place and held out her benumbed lingurcs to the cheerful blaze. ".'They can't get me now; ha! ha! said she. glancing wildly at the 'door. 'I'm glad they chased me in here; it's bo warm like. What is that she asked, approaching me, who was holding the baby. Your Aunt Judy had juf fallen asleep. I shrunk in terror from her, and hug- ' ged the babe more closely . 'Ha! ha! afraid of old Luce! All the world is afraid of old Luce! And she parted horthin lips, revealing now and then a solitary tooth, 'But d'ye think I'd hurt a babe like that? I had a baby once, and they stole it from me; and to-night 1 saw them coming after me. They wanted my gray hairs; but I got in too soon; ha! ha! Lillies! lillies! pretty little Jflowt-rs! Who'd 'a' thought one would a blossomed on the mountain side, and in the winter, too? Strange! strange! But let me touch just that litllc leaf.' And she took the little folded hand from its velvet cheek: and 1 never could tell why, but at her touch it sein ed to open; and, as .she looked upon the lines of its little palm, she went on jabbering: 'Shoit life sorrow marry young die away almost alone great eitv nobody there but Aimtv better die now, little lily, and lie under the snow by your baby home ha! ha! old Luce knows.' And her black eyes glowed with a fearful meaning. "I never believed much in fortune-telling." continued Mrs. Lacy; "hut somehow I felt a shudder come ocr me; and I was glad Judy did not hear it. I drew the babe away, and whis pered to your Uncle Nathan to send the crazy woman to the kitchen; but, before he had time to speak, she had rushed out of the house, and was gone. Kathan and the doctor went in search of her, lest she might perish io the storm; but, as they could not find her, they believed that she had entered a neighbor's house, and would be protected. The next day, she was found by the road-side frozen stark and stiff. "When Judy awoke from her long slumber. she asked me for her child. Oh, I've had such a queer dream!' said she. 'It seemed as if my baby was the whitest and purest lily I ever saw. growing iu a pot ly the side of that geranium there in the window; and I never saw anything so beautiful. Ami in the wild confusion of my dream, I fancied a house full of guests it seem ed like Thanksgiving Day and 1 was so afraid that somebody would touch the lovely plant, that I set it down by you for protection; but, while your attention was diverted to something else, a stranger came near, and plucked it close to the root. Then it all came back to me that it was my darling babe, my first-born; and oh, the agony of that moment! How glad I am it was all a dream!' "Mrs. Benson looked at me; and I beckoned her aside. We agreed not to tell Judy what old Lucy had said. There was something so strange in the cireuin-itauce that, in the wildness of the crazy woman's Imagination, she too had fancied the child a lily." The old lady breathed another; sigh, aad, jvipding her yarn carefully around thenecdies, laid aside her knitting. "Well, grandma, bow did it com out? Did the baby turn into a lily?" said the bright-eyed little Susie Beckley, laughing heartily at the idea. 'No, darling, unless just such a little creature as you, with your white round face, and merry blue eyes, but a living, laughing, ehattering lily. Sister Judy's dream assumed to her the form of a presentiment; and, before the baby had a name, she used to call it 'Lily. Gradually , as her strength returned, the gloomy impressions of that hour wore away; and, when the christening day came around, she said to Nathan : ! have got so used to calling the baby Lily that I cannot break off at once. Now you want her called Eliza; and, supposing we place Lilias before if, then lean yet call her by my pet name. Lilias Eliza Lee that is. a pretty name; is it not?" " 'Oh, yes, pretty enough, to be sure! but lily sounds a little flat tome; yet, if you like it I can get used to it in time.' "Thirteen yearn flew quickly by. Nathan Lee was then the richest man in Maple ton. The old house was torn away, and a great one of brown stone stood iu its place. The snufling and snorting of the iron steed has been heard passing his door, and where his sheep and cattle used to graze were built factories, and mills, and stores, and dwellings. Yes, your Uncle Nathan's farm was a village. "Lily was a slender, sweet child. The long dark la.hes which shaded her blue eyes gave themalook of sadness; but, when she spoke, it seemed as if a bright ray of sunlight had burst a fleecy cloud, so cheery wen- her words. Her mother had often told inc she never saw her angry. Her rich brown curls shaded the whitest neck I ever saw, unless it is your's, Susie; and do you wonder that every body thought her lovely? "By and by, she was sent away to Boston to school. Your grandpa and I lived there at the time; so your Aunt Judy persuaded me to take her into my family. Two years passed away, and still Lily was at school. Thanksgiving Day came around, with its accustomed festivities. Among the guests at our house was a young Lieutenant Gray, who paid much attention to Lilv and who, 1 afterwards learned, had bee clandestinely doing so for some time. He was handsome iu person; hut yet grandpa knew him to be in the habitiril use of intoxicating drinks, and also of gaming. The next week Lily went home. The Lieutenant visited her, and made proposals to her father for her Miand, but was sternly refused. Lily seemed sad at first, but before the week was gone, was gay as ever. "'It is nothing but a childish whim,' said Judy . 'She will never think of him again, now that she knows that it is against our wishes. ' " 'Don't you tell it,' said Nathan, 'and I will not have her in the city longer than Christmas.'"So she came back to stay until Christmas. It so happened that her birthday came that year upon Saturday: and iu the morning she said to me : 'There's no school to-day, Aunty; and, if you'll let me, I'll just take the one o'clock train, and go home to surprise mamma. You know I can get back ou Monday morning ill time for school.' v "I could not see any harm in that, and so I let her go; ami from that day to this we have never heard from either Lily or the Lieutenant. Nathan spent half he was worth in searching and advertising, and tin illy sunk un ler his affliction into the grave. Judy was laid by his side on the 17th of December, just eighteen years after she had looked upon her only child." The old lady wiped her eyes; ami Susie breathed a deep sigh jud as her mother entered. 'Here you are, little rogue, forever in grandma's room. 1 should think, mother, you would get tired of her. Dere's aim udder beggar in de kitchen, missus," said Chloe, peeping in at the door of "grandma's room' "a little boy so pale-like; 'pears he's most a ghost." Well, give him something, and let him be gone," saiil Mrs. Berkley. " What a pest they are! Sometime I almost wish I had a heart to refuse them entirely.' "I am thankful you have not. Rosa. Tell the little fellow to come up here, Chloe. I want to see what he is like." "You are really growing childish, mother, to send for a beggar-boy to come up stairs. What good can it do the child?" "Maybe not a bit; but I would like to see him." Chloe soon return. el with her protege, from whose large lustrous eyes were falling tears which told of sorrow. Unlike most of the class his face was scroupulously clean; and the rags which served him as clothes had been patched and darned till one could scarce disern of what had been the original. The old lady offered him a seat near the tire, which he timidly accepted; and, with a scries of questions, she soon elicited from hint the story of his mother's illness, and their extreme poverty. Mrs. Lacy declared that, if it were not too far to his home, she would go with him some day, and see his mother. "Nobody will see my mother long," said he. bursting into a flood of tears. "She must die. she's so sick; and what then will become of poor Nattie?' ' "Come to-morrow, then, little boy; and here take these flannels to keep hr warm to-night; it is so cold; and Susie, just step into my closet, and bring out that brown calico comfortable; it will do them more good than me. I have got enough without it.'. And the benevolent old lady lifted her spectacles to wipe away the moisture which had gathered there. "Almost too heavy for you, little fellow; is it not?" "No, ma'am; I can carry it; mother will be so glad ; she complains of the cold most all the time. 1 thank you. oh, so very much!" and his sobbings choked further utterance. The clear, bright morning enme; the snow-covered pavements creaked to the tread of the multitudes high and low, rich and poor, fur-clad and rag-clad mortals. The clock upon Trinity 's tall steeple had just tolled the hour of nine when Nattie made his appearance at the door of Judge Berkley's great stone mansion. 'Come agin !" said Chloe. "Pity misus gin you so much las' night. It alters spiles beggars to do for 'em. What d'ye want dis mornin?" "I want to sec the lady who said she would go and see my mother." "Must 'a' bin Gra'ma Laey. She's allers chasin' round 'inong de poor folks." Yes, it was ''Grandma Lacy:" and. in half an hour, John, the groom, had brought out the "gray team," harnessed to the best sleigh; and Mrs. Laey and Susie started ou a visit to the abode of poverty. Oh yc whe have never known the crampings of cold, or the cravings of hunger, or any other mijers """"-pj-ertv bringetbi "Go - ! - PEOPLE AND THE PUBLISHERS. thou and do likewise!" Perchance thy missior may be fraught with similar results. It was with much effort that the old lady war able to follow Nattie up the long rickety tair-ease. Upon arriving at the low garret whicl was his home, she found, lying upon a bed o, rags and straw, a ghastly-looking woman, whom Nattie introduced as his mother. No article o. comfort was there save the quilt she sent he the last bight. When Mrs. I.acy .took her thin hand, an looked into her large eyes, glowing as the. were in the unnatural brilliancy which con sumption alone can lend its victim, she though she recognized there an indefinable something which secured not only her sympathies, buthei affections. "I am dying. Oh, I thank my God that bd has sent somebody to comfort my last moments Will you be my friend?" continued the dyinJ woman. "Then listen to my story of suffering 1 must tell it to somebody before I die. 1 wa not always the distressed creature I am now but oh, I deserve it! yo! yes!" And her voic' faltered. What crime have vou been guilty of tha you deserve such wrechedness?" "Oh, I spurned their" warnings! I listene to his deceitful words. For him, whom I love so well, 1 left the sweet home of my childhood.' iiere inc sutler, overcome wun agnation j buried her face in the covering of her couch J ami wept aloud. "Another story of disobedience and blighted hopes, Susie," said Mr. Lacy in an undertone.! "Perhaps the haggared woman you see there was once as happy as you, or as was my Lily.j of whom I was telling vou." . . -t .. t :i t ...i... r t ed the dying woman. "Who are you, and whd was your Lily?" "My name is Mrs. Lacy, and my Lily was " "Oh God, you are my aunt, my dear aunty and I leftyou oh, so madly! and am Lily .' Let my readers imagine the scene. But tew words passed; and those few told of her hus-j band's debauchery and untimely death; and) Lily Lee died in the arms of her aunt. Many were the surmising why a pauper's funeral service should be held at the magnilicont home of Judge Berkley; and why Lusic should afterw ards be so foiiJof her pauper brother Nat-lie, w hom the judge had adopted, partly from benevolence, and partly because he had no son. O falso-tongued rumor! how vain are thy conceptions! mid how unreliable thy manifold tales! Xitro Glycerine. The frijrlitftil disaster which occurred on the loth ol' April, in or near the otticc of Wells, Faro & Co's Express, in fhc city of San Fruncisco, killing- instant. 11 or 20 persons, and dreadfully injuiin; many others, destroy in;; nearly a whoh block of building's, nud resulting in a da niitre of more than t wo hundred thousand dollars, is, beyond any doubt, the result of the explosion of nil ro-lyeerine, or blasting oil. Several boxes of this oil, weighing: about two hundred pounds,! were imported not long since from Germany, by the superintendent of a New York mining company, and forwarded to San Francisco, to be used by themiu-nino- companies in Nevada, Idaho and Colorado, the immense exploding power of the new chemical compound ofTc-ring Treat advantages, not only in the saving of labor of drill holes, but also in frieght, because one pound of this blasting oil does the same destructive work as twelve to fifteen pounds of common bias ting gunpowder. The inventor and patentee of this compound id .Mr. Alfred Nobel, a Sweedish engineer. It was first made publicly known in this country by a frightful ex plosion of a box of it at the Wyoming Hotel, Greenwich Street, New York, or November oth, 1805, by which severa persons were injured. The following in stances will suffice to illustrate its tre mendous power. In the small city of Bochum, in one o) the coal districts of Westphalia, Germany, a store keeper kept for sale to the mi, tiers some stock of Noble's nitro glictrim1 One morning a miner came to buy tv pounds, and brought with him a tin cai? to carry it, the glass bottles in which i-was sold being inconvenient for hi! The clerk opend the bottles, and pouret4 the oil into the tin can; but, lo, in tin, same moment it exploded, tearing tc pieces the poor clerk, killing the miner ami destroying the store, lhe I russian; Government appointed a commission to investigate the matter, and it was found' that the tin can had contained turpentine-oil, and that turpentine oil in contact with nit ro-glyecrine possibly would ocea, sion a sudden explosion. Singularl) enough, the accident happened on tin same day that the Wyoming Hotel acci dent took place in New York. Near Glatz, in the Prussian provinc of Silesia, a laborer who -was occupied h blasting some rocks on the railroad tracK came very early in the morning, (Jai 6, 18ri6) to.liis work. He was to pour oi in his drill-hole, but found it hard frozci overnight the oil having the peculia " quality of freezing six. degrees above th0j water freezing point. The oil was in : gntta percha flask, and little being left the unfortunate workman cut open tin ' flask, and took a hatchet to cut olTa picct ; of the frozen oil. The moment the hatchet touched the frozen iltimpit exploded killing instantly the poor man, whose limbs were scattered in fragments, and' found two miles distant from the place where the accident happend.

To what cold and starry hight Would it now take its flight? Ah no! Ilowe'r so bright and fair, The smile of God rest there, Those transient joys to share, I would not go.

Carroll, Ohio, March, 18G0. THE MOUNTAIN LILY- BY ETTIE ELTON. "PIT a little more coal in the grate, Susie, it is so very cold to-night," said old Mrs. Lacy, at the same time laying down her knitting, and drawing a Utile closer to the tire. "Well it is obout time for cold weather. See to-day is the l"th the 17th of December, Twenty-nine years ago, this very night, 1 fahall never lor-get.""What about it, grandma?" said Susie, her eyes brightening at the prosect ol a story. "Almost enough for a book, or a story at anv rate I ineau.a written story. Pickup my ball, dear," and the old lady heaved a sijfh, and removed her spectacles, wiped them with the corner of her silk apron preparatory to the resumption of her knitting and the narration . "Some how or other, my miud has been running upon that child all day. It seems to mc you look a little as she did at your age, with eye so large and blue. .May Heaven protect my Susie from her fate! But, as I t-aid,twenty-nine years ago this very night, she lirst opened her eyes in the home ofMster Judy. Jt seems to me Judy had a kind of foreknowledge that all was not right when for the hrst time she clasped that babe to her breast and prayed : " O God, proteet mydanghter!" "It was dark midnight, and their mountain home was shrouded iu a sheet of snow. The winds whistled through the tall pine, and dallied the sleet against the windows. A wild cry oi agony pierced the air, sendiug a thrill of horror through the hearts of all within the house. Old Mrs. Benson, opened the door and UVtencd. It was a woman's voice,' she said, 'somebody lost in the storm.' "Before your uncle had time to go to her aid, she had made her appearance at the door an old woman, all shrivelled viitli age her hair white as the f-nowy roTic ot nature, her large black eyes glaring with the wihlnc- of intensity, and her person covered with tatters. A rude bonnet hanging behind her head, ami partof a woolen shawl, were her chief protection from the storm. " 'Old crazy Luce,' said Dr. franc; 'she must leave this room at once, Mr. Lee.' "But your uncle did not bid her go just then, and she sat down by the tin-place and held out her benumbed lingurcs to the cheerful blaze. ".'They can't get me now; ha! ha! said she. glancing wildly at the 'door. 'I'm glad they chased me in here; it's bo warm like. What is that she asked, approaching me, who was holding the baby. Your Aunt Judy had juf fallen asleep. I shrunk in terror from her, and hug- ' ged the babe more closely . 'Ha! ha! afraid of old Luce! All the world is afraid of old Luce! And she parted horthin lips, revealing now and then a solitary tooth, 'But d'ye think I'd hurt a babe like that? I had a baby once, and they stole it from me; and to-night 1 saw them coming after me. They wanted my gray hairs; but I got in too soon; ha! ha! Lillies! lillies! pretty little Jflowt-rs! Who'd 'a' thought one would a blossomed on the mountain side, and in the winter, too? Strange! strange! But let me touch just that litllc leaf.' And she took the little folded hand from its velvet cheek: and 1 never could tell why, but at her touch it sein ed to open; and, as .she looked upon the lines of its little palm, she went on jabbering: 'Shoit life sorrow marry young die away almost alone great eitv nobody there but Aimtv better die now, little lily, and lie under the snow by your baby home ha! ha! old Luce knows.' And her black eyes glowed with a fearful meaning. "I never believed much in fortune-telling." continued Mrs. Lacy; "hut somehow I felt a shudder come ocr me; and I was glad Judy did not hear it. I drew the babe away, and whis pered to your Uncle Nathan to send the crazy woman to the kitchen; but, before he had time to speak, she had rushed out of the house, and was gone. Kathan and the doctor went in search of her, lest she might perish io the storm; but, as they could not find her, they believed that she had entered a neighbor's house, and would be protected. The next day, she was found by the road-side frozen stark and stiff. "When Judy awoke from her long slumber. she asked me for her child. Oh, I've had such a queer dream!' said she. 'It seemed as if my baby was the whitest and purest lily I ever saw. growing iu a pot ly the side of that geranium there in the window; and I never saw anything so beautiful. Ami in the wild confusion of my dream, I fancied a house full of guests it seem ed like Thanksgiving Day and 1 was so afraid that somebody would touch the lovely plant, that I set it down by you for protection; but, while your attention was diverted to something else, a stranger came near, and plucked it close to the root. Then it all came back to me that it was my darling babe, my first-born; and oh, the agony of that moment! How glad I am it was all a dream!' "Mrs. Benson looked at me; and I beckoned her aside. We agreed not to tell Judy what old Lucy had said. There was something so strange in the cireuin-itauce that, in the wildness of the crazy woman's Imagination, she too had fancied the child a lily." The old lady breathed another; sigh, aad, jvipding her yarn carefully around thenecdies, laid aside her knitting. "Well, grandma, bow did it com out? Did the baby turn into a lily?" said the bright-eyed little Susie Beckley, laughing heartily at the idea. 'No, darling, unless just such a little creature as you, with your white round face, and merry blue eyes, but a living, laughing, ehattering lily. Sister Judy's dream assumed to her the form of a presentiment; and, before the baby had a name, she used to call it 'Lily. Gradually , as her strength returned, the gloomy impressions of that hour wore away; and, when the christening day came around, she said to Nathan : ! have got so used to calling the baby Lily that I cannot break off at once. Now you want her called Eliza; and, supposing we place Lilias before if, then lean yet call her by my pet name. Lilias Eliza Lee that is. a pretty name; is it not?" " 'Oh, yes, pretty enough, to be sure! but lily sounds a little flat tome; yet, if you like it I can get used to it in time.' "Thirteen yearn flew quickly by. Nathan Lee was then the richest man in Maple ton. The old house was torn away, and a great one of brown stone stood iu its place. The snufling and snorting of the iron steed has been heard passing his door, and where his sheep and cattle used to graze were built factories, and mills, and stores, and dwellings. Yes, your Uncle Nathan's farm was a village. "Lily was a slender, sweet child. The long dark la.hes which shaded her blue eyes gave themalook of sadness; but, when she spoke, it seemed as if a bright ray of sunlight had burst a fleecy cloud, so cheery wen- her words. Her mother had often told inc she never saw her angry. Her rich brown curls shaded the whitest neck I ever saw, unless it is your's, Susie; and do you wonder that every body thought her lovely? "By and by, she was sent away to Boston to school. Your grandpa and I lived there at the time; so your Aunt Judy persuaded me to take her into my family. Two years passed away, and still Lily was at school. Thanksgiving Day came around, with its accustomed festivities. Among the guests at our house was a young Lieutenant Gray, who paid much attention to Lilv and who, 1 afterwards learned, had bee clandestinely doing so for some time. He was handsome iu person; hut yet grandpa knew him to be in the habitiril use of intoxicating drinks, and also of gaming. The next week Lily went home. The Lieutenant visited her, and made proposals to her father for her Miand, but was sternly refused. Lily seemed sad at first, but before the week was gone, was gay as ever. "'It is nothing but a childish whim,' said Judy . 'She will never think of him again, now that she knows that it is against our wishes. ' " 'Don't you tell it,' said Nathan, 'and I will not have her in the city longer than Christmas.'"So she came back to stay until Christmas. It so happened that her birthday came that year upon Saturday: and iu the morning she said to me : 'There's no school to-day, Aunty; and, if you'll let me, I'll just take the one o'clock train, and go home to surprise mamma. You know I can get back ou Monday morning ill time for school.' v "I could not see any harm in that, and so I let her go; ami from that day to this we have never heard from either Lily or the Lieutenant. Nathan spent half he was worth in searching and advertising, and tin illy sunk un ler his affliction into the grave. Judy was laid by his side on the 17th of December, just eighteen years after she had looked upon her only child." The old lady wiped her eyes; ami Susie breathed a deep sigh jud as her mother entered. 'Here you are, little rogue, forever in grandma's room. 1 should think, mother, you would get tired of her. Dere's aim udder beggar in de kitchen, missus," said Chloe, peeping in at the door of "grandma's room' "a little boy so pale-like; 'pears he's most a ghost." Well, give him something, and let him be gone," saiil Mrs. Berkley. " What a pest they are! Sometime I almost wish I had a heart to refuse them entirely.' "I am thankful you have not. Rosa. Tell the little fellow to come up here, Chloe. I want to see what he is like." "You are really growing childish, mother, to send for a beggar-boy to come up stairs. What good can it do the child?" "Maybe not a bit; but I would like to see him." Chloe soon return. el with her protege, from whose large lustrous eyes were falling tears which told of sorrow. Unlike most of the class his face was scroupulously clean; and the rags which served him as clothes had been patched and darned till one could scarce disern of what had been the original. The old lady offered him a seat near the tire, which he timidly accepted; and, with a scries of questions, she soon elicited from hint the story of his mother's illness, and their extreme poverty. Mrs. Lacy declared that, if it were not too far to his home, she would go with him some day, and see his mother. "Nobody will see my mother long," said he. bursting into a flood of tears. "She must die. she's so sick; and what then will become of poor Nattie?' ' "Come to-morrow, then, little boy; and here take these flannels to keep hr warm to-night; it is so cold; and Susie, just step into my closet, and bring out that brown calico comfortable; it will do them more good than me. I have got enough without it.'. And the benevolent old lady lifted her spectacles to wipe away the moisture which had gathered there. "Almost too heavy for you, little fellow; is it not?" "No, ma'am; I can carry it; mother will be so glad ; she complains of the cold most all the time. 1 thank you. oh, so very much!" and his sobbings choked further utterance. The clear, bright morning enme; the snow-covered pavements creaked to the tread of the multitudes high and low, rich and poor, fur-clad and rag-clad mortals. The clock upon Trinity 's tall steeple had just tolled the hour of nine when Nattie made his appearance at the door of Judge Berkley's great stone mansion. 'Come agin !" said Chloe. "Pity misus gin you so much las' night. It alters spiles beggars to do for 'em. What d'ye want dis mornin?" "I want to sec the lady who said she would go and see my mother." "Must 'a' bin Gra'ma Laey. She's allers chasin' round 'inong de poor folks." Yes, it was ''Grandma Lacy:" and. in half an hour, John, the groom, had brought out the "gray team," harnessed to the best sleigh; and Mrs. Laey and Susie started ou a visit to the abode of poverty. Oh yc whe have never known the crampings of cold, or the cravings of hunger, or any other mijers """"-pj-ertv bringetbi "Go - ! - PEOPLE AND THE PUBLISHERS. thou and do likewise!" Perchance thy missior may be fraught with similar results. It was with much effort that the old lady war able to follow Nattie up the long rickety tair-ease. Upon arriving at the low garret whicl was his home, she found, lying upon a bed o, rags and straw, a ghastly-looking woman, whom Nattie introduced as his mother. No article o. comfort was there save the quilt she sent he the last bight. When Mrs. I.acy .took her thin hand, an looked into her large eyes, glowing as the. were in the unnatural brilliancy which con sumption alone can lend its victim, she though she recognized there an indefinable something which secured not only her sympathies, buthei affections. "I am dying. Oh, I thank my God that bd has sent somebody to comfort my last moments Will you be my friend?" continued the dyinJ woman. "Then listen to my story of suffering 1 must tell it to somebody before I die. 1 wa not always the distressed creature I am now but oh, I deserve it! yo! yes!" And her voic' faltered. What crime have vou been guilty of tha you deserve such wrechedness?" "Oh, I spurned their" warnings! I listene to his deceitful words. For him, whom I love so well, 1 left the sweet home of my childhood.' iiere inc sutler, overcome wun agnation j buried her face in the covering of her couch J ami wept aloud. "Another story of disobedience and blighted hopes, Susie," said Mr. Lacy in an undertone.! "Perhaps the haggared woman you see there was once as happy as you, or as was my Lily.j of whom I was telling vou." . . -t .. t :i t ...i... r t ed the dying woman. "Who are you, and whd was your Lily?" "My name is Mrs. Lacy, and my Lily was " "Oh God, you are my aunt, my dear aunty and I leftyou oh, so madly! and am Lily .' Let my readers imagine the scene. But tew words passed; and those few told of her hus-j band's debauchery and untimely death; and) Lily Lee died in the arms of her aunt. Many were the surmising why a pauper's funeral service should be held at the magnilicont home of Judge Berkley; and why Lusic should afterw ards be so foiiJof her pauper brother Nat-lie, w hom the judge had adopted, partly from benevolence, and partly because he had no son. O falso-tongued rumor! how vain are thy conceptions! mid how unreliable thy manifold tales! Xitro Glycerine. The frijrlitftil disaster which occurred on the loth ol' April, in or near the otticc of Wells, Faro & Co's Express, in fhc city of San Fruncisco, killing- instant. 11 or 20 persons, and dreadfully injuiin; many others, destroy in;; nearly a whoh block of building's, nud resulting in a da niitre of more than t wo hundred thousand dollars, is, beyond any doubt, the result of the explosion of nil ro-lyeerine, or blasting oil. Several boxes of this oil, weighing: about two hundred pounds,! were imported not long since from Germany, by the superintendent of a New York mining company, and forwarded to San Francisco, to be used by themiu-nino- companies in Nevada, Idaho and Colorado, the immense exploding power of the new chemical compound ofTc-ring Treat advantages, not only in the saving of labor of drill holes, but also in frieght, because one pound of this blasting oil does the same destructive work as twelve to fifteen pounds of common bias ting gunpowder. The inventor and patentee of this compound id .Mr. Alfred Nobel, a Sweedish engineer. It was first made publicly known in this country by a frightful ex plosion of a box of it at the Wyoming Hotel, Greenwich Street, New York, or November oth, 1805, by which severa persons were injured. The following in stances will suffice to illustrate its tre mendous power. In the small city of Bochum, in one o) the coal districts of Westphalia, Germany, a store keeper kept for sale to the mi, tiers some stock of Noble's nitro glictrim1 One morning a miner came to buy tv pounds, and brought with him a tin cai? to carry it, the glass bottles in which i-was sold being inconvenient for hi! The clerk opend the bottles, and pouret4 the oil into the tin can; but, lo, in tin, same moment it exploded, tearing tc pieces the poor clerk, killing the miner ami destroying the store, lhe I russian; Government appointed a commission to investigate the matter, and it was found' that the tin can had contained turpentine-oil, and that turpentine oil in contact with nit ro-glyecrine possibly would ocea, sion a sudden explosion. Singularl) enough, the accident happened on tin same day that the Wyoming Hotel acci dent took place in New York. Near Glatz, in the Prussian provinc of Silesia, a laborer who -was occupied h blasting some rocks on the railroad tracK came very early in the morning, (Jai 6, 18ri6) to.liis work. He was to pour oi in his drill-hole, but found it hard frozci overnight the oil having the peculia " quality of freezing six. degrees above th0j water freezing point. The oil was in : gntta percha flask, and little being left the unfortunate workman cut open tin ' flask, and took a hatchet to cut olTa picct ; of the frozen oil. The moment the hatchet touched the frozen iltimpit exploded killing instantly the poor man, whose limbs were scattered in fragments, and' found two miles distant from the place where the accident happend.

In the ctlort to improve and overcome uch objections as have from time lo time presented themselves fo us in the wood rnke, wc finally abandoned the slatted platform, the platform wheeN, the chair stand, and with them ultimately nil other feature belonging to wood, striking out in a new df reef Ion, wc have produced one of the most novel and simple move meuts ever show n for a self-rakcr. Tw o crank driven by pinions, carries the rnke nnn. which is most perfectly adapted to the aluipn t-t Manny lattorm. possessing all the i'ool rjiialltle and fully overcoming all objections thus l';ir mado to the'wocd and oilier pclt'-raker.

And thi nil chine, because it is nil wrought iron, cheap, liirht. strong, compact, durable, nud a powerful culler, 1 believe will be very popular. 1'urmera will do well to inspect fhe sample with ngcuta, whether they wish to buy or not.
